Dissected biovalsalva prosthesis.

چکیده
A 75-year-old man underwent a Bentall procedure and hemi-arch replacement with a Biovalsalva conduit (Vascutek Terumo, Renfrewshire, Scotland) and concomitant coronary re-vascularisation. Three days later, the patient underwent an uneventful re-sternotomy due to cardiac tamponade. During the procedure, blood was drained to release the tamponade; however, no primary area for blood loss was found, though the proximal Biovalsalva appeared dissected (Fig. 1). www.elsevier.com/locate/ejcts European Journal of Cardio-thoracic Surgery 36 (2009) 400

In-vivo assessment of the morphology and hemodynamic functions of the BioValsalva™ composite valve-conduit graft using cardiac magnetic resonance imaging and computational modelling technology
BACKGROUND The evaluation of any new cardiac valvular prosthesis should go beyond the classical morbidity and mortality rates and involve hemodynamic assessment. As a proof of concept, the objective of this study was to characterise for the first time the hemodynamics and the blood flow profiles at the aortic root in patients implanted with BioValsalva™ composite valve-conduit using comprehensi...
متن کاملPreassembled stentless valved-conduit for the replacement of the ascending aorta and aortic root.
Here we report the early clinical results of a new preassembled stentless valved-conduit incorporating artificial sinuses of Valsalva (BioValsalva). This new composite conduit incorporates a stentless porcine aortic valve (Elan, Vascutek Terumo, UK) suspended within a triple-layered vascular conduit (Triplex, Vascutek Terumo, UK) constructed with sinuses of Valsalva. Between December 2006 and J...
متن کاملReplacement of the ascending aorta, aortic root, and valve with a novel stentless valved conduit.
PURPOSE Biologic valved-conduit grafts avoid the need for anticoagulation and can exploit the excellent hemodynamic performance of stentless valves. Incorporation of sinuses of Valsalva into the neoaortic root can improve the function of the stentless valves. DESCRIPTION Here we present a novel prefabricated stentless valved conduit incorporating sinuses of Valsalva and describe the technique...
متن کاملScrotal Abscess Precipitating Late Infection of a Malleable Penile Prosthesis: The Risk Never Evanesces.
Although infrequent, infections represent the dreadful complication of penile prosthesis implantation. The incidence substantially decreases after a few infection-free postoperative months. We report herein a case of a very late penile prosthesis infection from a fistualizing scrotal abscess in a 67-year-old man. The patient presented with a one-month history of persistent penile-base discharge...
متن کاملThigh augmentation: submuscular placement of a silicone gel-filled prosthesis.
The development of silicone prostheses for augmentation of the calf and buttocks has led a small number of our patients to consider the use of implants for aesthetic thigh augmentation. In this article, we report a new thigh augmentation technique using submuscular placement of silicone gel-filled implants. Fresh cadaver dissections were performed to measure the space between the gracilis muscl...
